This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.
While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

This is just one of those wallpapers you have to see to believe. The highlights and shadows bring the characters to life in a way that the original image didn't even begin to do. Definitely a work to admire ^^

a month or so of hell =.= this is one of the scans I fell in love with a long time ago. I worked on it a bit, got lazy, dropped it. I only opened it again for the contest... 1 month to finish, and I went from love-hate-love-hate over and over.
Favorite part: dragon. I doubt people will remember anything about this but the dragon anyway =.=
Hated part: BG. Made the rightmost house from scratch, no reference used.
Thank-yous (READ: THEY'RE WONDERFUL PEOPLE)
~otaku99 for the critique. If this wall succeeds, most of it is thanks to you :3
°jigoku-shonen for suggesting the no-stocks... ahhhh hey wait WTF?!?! YOU NEARLY KILLED US!!
~farizthree for being a good opponent, and for putting up with my endless 'slack off and I'll kill you' messages.
`Danalm for mercilessly pushing convincing us to give it our best.
`elfe-noire43 for giving me inspiration to put a dragon in in the first place. Although her dragon ended up looking too fierce for the 'peace' theme, I wouldn't have thought of putting one in without her awesome vector.
`k1ru, ^Dioma, and `halcyonTwilight for suggesting I lighten Kuro a bit for this second version.

Your skills with the use of lighting are really exemplary. This is, quit simply, a beautiful wall. The characters really do feel like they come to life thanks to that great lighting. I have no more words except two. Instant fav.
I could tell by the thumbnail that this was already going to be an amazing wall. Or maybe just because it was a Tsubasa wall with Kuro-chan and Tomoyo-hime!
It has such a romantic/peaceful mood, it's hard not to like. The Dragon is just amazing along with the rest of the wall. It must have taken foreverrrrrrrr to get it right.
Beautiful vector work! Really outstanding, especially the dragon. I would prefer the dragon to be blue, but this works fine. Tomoyo and Kuro-chan, one of my favorite couple. You've done well with the smooth vectoring and the effects are way cool! This is a total fave.
Man, this is a good wallpaper that you've made
not much to bad comment it(LOL i like to bad comment)
nice shadow effects in this wall and the dragon is realistic!
keep up the good work and + fave
Recently I was to lazy to post any comments (in addition to being to lazy all my life to make my own wallpaper) but this is simply to awesome to remain quiet!!
Haven't noticed the scan before but the finished product is exactly how You said -- to fall in love with.
Personal fav!
To tell you the truth...this piece in thumb is awful! But when i opened it i said "WOW". It is so good! You did such a beautiful and intense wallpaper :) Congratulations! You deserve the very best XD
Of'course it is a fav.
Hm, what i liked the most? The house (how on earth did you manage to vector it?) and the dragon (dragons RULE).
Kisses
